1. A method, comprising:
invoking, by a first user device of a first user and for a second user that is not associated with the first user device, a guest mode for the second user via the first user device,
wherein the guest mode associates the second user with the first user device and prevents the second user from accessing information that is associated with the first user and is stored on the first user device;
receiving, by the first user device and from a network device, a service,
wherein the service includes an identity service for authenticating an identity of the second user,
wherein the service is received based on providing authentication information associated with the second user to the network device, and
wherein the second user is associated with the first user device via the identity service;
enabling, by the first user device, the second user to utilize the service based on associating the second user with the first user device; and
removing, by the first user device, information associated with the second user from a memory associated with the first user device based on the second user exiting the guest mode.
